Stay Safe in Spain

A little common sense goes a long way. In general Spain has a low rate of violent crime. Córdoba is usually a very safe city, but it is a city nonetheless. As in any city, you need to be cautious, especially as a foreigner. Stay alert. Remember that alcohol reduces your capacity to make good decisions. Travelers using public transportation, or walking alone or in crowded areas should be especially alert to the potential for pickpocketing.
